Passage Three

It was a case of emergency. The four-year-old girl awoke and smelled smoke. She couldn't wake her mother, so she dialed "zero". An operator immediately called the fire department. Help was sent,and a tragedy avoided.

Days before this emergency ,the mother had taught her child how to telephone for help. Children as young as two and one-half years old can be taught to use the phone in emergency situations. Here are some points.

Memorizing certain facts is important. Teach your children their names, and the section of town where you live. Try to keep what they learn within their abilities. Simple information, learned well,is better than difficult information only partly learned.

Be sure your children know how to use the telephone. They should be taught to dial "zero"for the operator, at the very least. And they should be taught to dial "911" if it is used in your town.~ Practice over a period of several days. Over-learning is necessary so the child can act auto-matically in case of emergency.

If you would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help,write Telephone For Help,Box 99, Bowling Green Station, New York, NY 10004.

Passage Four

Oceanography has been defined as "The application of all sciences to the study of the sea".

Before the nineteenth century scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between.Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aapects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to goto sea to further his work.

For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question "What is at the bottom of the oceans?" had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a tele-graph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineer had to know the depth profile (

形状)of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.

It was to Ma my of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned,in 1853,for information on this matter. In the 1840s ,Ma my had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings(测水深) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later,some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.

The cable was laid,but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea. Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition( 考察) ,which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea.Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.

( ) 48. This passage is mainly about

A. the beginnings of oceanography         B. the laying of the first undersea cable

C. the investigation of ocean depths        D. the early intercontinental communications

答案：A

( )49. The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take on.

A. an academic aspect        B. a military aspect       C. a business aspect        D. an international aspect

答案：C

( ) 50. It was__________that asked Meary for help in oceanographic studies.

A. the American Navy        B. some early intercontinental travelers

C. those who earned a living from the sea         D. the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable

答案：D

( )51. The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was

A. to make some sounding experiments in the oceans      B. to collect samples of sea plants and animals

C. to estimate the length of cable that was needed       D. to measure the depths of the two oceans

答案：D

Passage Five

The small number of newborn babies, which has been caused by high prices and the changingsocial situation of women, is one of the rriost serious p~oblems in Asia. When people talk about it, you-,.

can hear a word invented in Japan," DINKS" ,which means Double Income No Kids.

In many major Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and Tokyo, the cost of a house is extremelyhigh. A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $ 300,000 ( thoughprices have fallen). For a flat with one bedroom, one dining-room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, thecouple will pay about $ 900 a month. What'~ more, if they want to have a child, the child's educationis very expensive. For example, most kindergarten charges are at least $ 5,000 a year. In such asituation, it's difficult to afford children.

The number of married women who want to continue working increases rapidly because they en-joy their jobs. However, if they want to have children, they immediately have serious problems.Though most companies allow women to leave their jobs for a short time to have a baby, they expect women with babies to give up their jobs. In short, if they want to bring up children properly, both par-ents have to work, but it is hard for mothers to work. Indeed, women who want to continue working have to choose between having children or keeping their jobs.

In a word,Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon as possible.
